Is this good for a gaming PC? Let me know if the graphics card is outdated. Thanks

lol, no wonder I had to scroll so far down to see the video card.. You would need a new PSU and video card to play games. And 8GB of RAM is overkill, but 16GB is just ridiculous.. Have you considered buying the parts and building the pc yourself? You get a lifetime warranty with most of the parts if you choose the right manufacturers...

It's awful, stay the hell away from it. Do the research, buy the parts yourself and build it.

8 gb is the utter maximum for gaming

for 661 us dollars you can do better but you don't have to build it yourself, there are good prebuilds you know, you can always buy a prebuilt with a crappy videocard and buy another videocard.

This wouldn't be a good buy though, you're paying for that ram, and you're paying too much for the rest The psu is only 400W and from an unknown brand.

Also they say it's a gaming pc but the videocard is really low end. Someone who knows a thing or two about computers wouldn't sell this as a gaming pc.

Smells fishy... Don't buy it. There are other shop, webshops. Don't you have a local computerstore, some are actually good.

As others have said, do not buy that PoS. That CPU is OK and the RAM is complete overkill, but that GPU is trash. Also, that PSU is pretty weak.

I love how they use the term "1080p" now-a-days. So stupid to talk about 1080p when dealing with computers.

I would be very wary of the PC considering that it doesn't specifically say what kind of graphics card it has.

It says only PCI-EXPRESS VIDEO CARD HDPCI-Express 1080p 1GB Video Card. That's a very bad overview of the product. This would immediately put me off from buying it!

Okay I see Nvidia 8400 at the bottom. THat's a very bad graphics card. £20 card could hardly play games higher than 800x600 resolution.

The GPU and PSU sucks... and seeing as how those are so important and components you shouldn't skimp out on... you're better off building and selecting parts on your own. With a better GPU and PSU, it will take your ground total to around $1000 anyways. And the RAM amount is overkill. You only need 4GB for gaming purposes, but 6-8gb isn't so much overkill these days. But anything over 8gb is just unnecessary.

Cpu is Ok Ram are overkill but that video card is god awful For less money you can build yourself one with a decent video card Plus the motherboard is an AM3 and not AM3+ thus the upcoming AMD cpu's wont work with that motherboard and it also has a terrible power supply
